"EMC Corporation (now Dell EMC) carries a three-letter ticker-style code listed across major aggregators. hotelcorporatecodes.com rates it "Sometimes." EMC merged into Dell in 2016, meaning legitimate EMC-branded employee credentials no longer exist — a fact that could increase scrutiny at properties aware of the company's acquisition history. Standard Medium rating applies consistent with tech-sector patterns: discount depth drives enforcement, not company name alone."

"I mean, when I worked night audit, the whole night is practically a break after like 1am. It was usually just me and one other guy running the place (the other guy is just cleaning and doesn’t know how to do front desk). We don’t get an actual “lunch break” where we have to clock out for 30 minutes because we can’t leave the desk completely unoccupied (unless you were going to the bathroom or tension to a guest away from the desk or something). And we just ate at our desks if we were hungry, not sitting in the back."

"I occasionally try to get the corporate rate for a company I'm visiting in the area (for sales/consulting). Only once has a front desk clerk asked me to prove my eligibility, and she was satisfied by me giving the name and telephone number of the person I was visiting."
